[REVIEW] Gak Cantik Bakery's 3 Flavored Cookies

Hello~

Today i want to write a review for @gakcantikbakery 's 3 flavoured "Putri Salju" cookies!

It's almost ramadhan so people will definitely stock up for some cookies, and this new bakery have a lot of unique cakes and cookies you won't find anywhere else! 

I tried the 3 flavoured Snow Princess Cookies which have a very unique concept, the original flavour is called Elsa,the snow queen, the nutella(yes,nutella! How awesome is that???) is Malificent, and the Green Tea is....? Yep, you guessed it! The Wicked Witch of The West! Sooo cute!

BUT! cuteness is not enough to satisfy my belly... Now let me give some of my opinion for this cookies.

 Taraaaaaa~
The meaning of gak cantik is "not pretty" so this bakery is litterally called "the not pretty bakery" their motto is: "don't judge a cake by it's cover" lol

 This is Malificent,the nutella flavour the cookie's texture is so crispy, very different from the normal putri salju i'm very surprised and amused, i can't really taste the nutella though, but i like it~ Chocolatey cookies is always yummy to me~

This is Elsa~ the original flavour, it's a bit too sweet, not buttery like the way my mama used to make it, as i am not a sweet tooth person, this is my least favorite of all...sorry Elsa...i have to....let you go... ;)

And my favourite is Elphie...A.K.A The Wicked Witch of The West, A.K.A the Green Tea Flavour but sadly i didn't yook the photo....because i realize that i already finished it...stupid me....the Wicked Witch of The West i reeaaalllyyy good, not too sweet and i can taste the green tea flavour :3 super yummy! I wonder if i can order with only the Wicked Witch of The West? 

Bottom line: i reccomend this! this is a very unique putri salju, the flavour is unique and yummy~ it's very crispy unlike the usual, but it's good! :D 

The only thing i don't like is the sugar icing,which is too much,too sweet and sticky... So i have scrape a lot of the sugar first to enjoy the cookies :(

I definitely want to buy this cookies again :3 the cookies n cakes from @gakcantikbakery are very unique and yummy, they have a skippy layer cakes, beef floss nastar, etc! Just check their instagram! Their cookies n cakes can be an exciting new variation for ramadhan snacks :D or any other occasion~


Ooh! Speaking of instagram! Did you guys have instagram? Kindly follow me at @jacq_tanoto ;) i will follow you back ;D

[REVIEW and Tutorial] Cosmos Lipstick and Natural Make Up Tutorial inspired by Romeo Eun with Victoria Secret's Give Me Glam Makeup Kit

Hello!

I promised to make a tutorial for the natural make up that I learned from Mr.Romeo Eun from the Laneige make over event that I wrote about a few months ago remember? This one : http://jacqtanoto.blogspot.com/2014/03/makeover-park-shin-hyes-look-laneige.html?m=

Now let's start shall we?

Today i decided to use my Victoria Secret's Give Me Glam Makeup Kit

This baby has 30 shades of eyeshadows and 5 shades of lipstick and lipglosses, 4 blushes a powder, highliter and a bronzer, applicator for eye shadow,powder,lipstick, a mascara,eyeliner pencil,lip liner

And I also use this new Cosmos lipstick that i got from @vie_andiksu 

I got the no.1 innocent shade

The lipstick is very smooth and the color is also pigmented~
Now i have like 3 nude shades that I usally use,the etoinette lipstick from etude and the etude house's rosy lip tint, I thought that the colors will be similar but apprently they're not hehehe

Etude's etoinette is a bit more pinkish, and etude's rosy lip tint is more reddish while the cosmos's innocent lipstick is a brownish nude

Now let's start the tutorial ;)

Apply the foundation or base of your choice, ini here i use the Too Cool For School BB Cream, then blend it to you face evenly

Then apply shading and eyebrow pencil like in these pictures
For the shading put it on your lower cheek bone and your nose like in the pic, then put on your blush on your apple cheek
Don't forget to blend it ;)

For the eyebrow, use your pencil to mark the spot to draw your eyebrows like in the left picture,draw a line from your nose through the tip of your outer eyes,and the end of your eyebrow then make a dot, then make another dot in the middle of your eyebrow,slightly on the top of the other dot, and finally the inner of your eyebrows

Next step,put your eyeliner in your inner of eye lid
Yep, put it in your inner lid to make your eyes bigger but not visible in your eyelid when you close your eyes

The put on mascara to add more live to you lr eyes
Then i put on some natural eyeshadows from the pallete and here are the colors that i used


And finally: 
Put on lipstick to your lips and powder to all over your face and you're finished!


Here's a picture with a better lighting


This look is a perfect look for daily make up, it's very fresh and easy too!

I hope my explanation is clear, if anybody want to ask something please leave a comment below ;)

Thank you Mr.Romeo Eun for sharing his knowledge with me!

[REVIEW] Glamglow Youthmud Mask

Hello!

Last night i tried the super popular mask from Glamglow, and yeah...i'm one of the many people who is impressed...let's get started!


I believe most of you had known about this mask, they said a lot of holywood celebrity always use this before they go on screen so they will have a healthy glowing and flawless looking skin...hmmm...i wasn't sure so i decided to try it



This is my face after washing sorry the lighting is bad,but as you can (maybe) see my pores are visible, and trust me in reality it's super visible, i also have a very oily t-zone and cheek and black heads tok!

So i tried the mask

My camera is not focus when i took it's a little blurry,sorry

I only use tiny amounts of the product(because...it's expensive y'know) the box also said that it's fine to use only tiny amount of the product~
When i used it i feel a sting all over my face...i had acnes so maybe that's why...
 
So here's the ingredients:

-French Sea Clay: Absorbs impurities and toxic substances, while leaving essential natural oils and minimizing pore size. 
-Volcanic Pumice Rock: Multi-level surface exfoliation that you control to clear dead skin cells, smoothing out fine lines and softening skin texture. 
-Green Tea Leaf Pieces: GLAMGLOW® groundbreaking patent pending TEAOXI™ technology delivers fresh Super-Squalene, EGCG super antioxidants, and Polypenols directly into the mud from the real pieces of tea leaf. 

Aqua (Water), Montmorillonite (Volcanic Minerals), Kaolin (French Sea Clay), Magnesium Aluminum Silicate (Purified Clay), Polyethylene, Pumice (Micro Volcanic Rock), Camellia Sinensis Leaf (Green Tea Leaf), Camellia Oleifera Leaf Extract (Green Tea), Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract (Chamomile), Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract (Marigold), Cucumis Sativus Fruit Extract (Cucumber), Hedara Helix Extract (Ivy), Symphytum Officinale Leaf Extract (Comfrey Herb), Lavandula Hybrida Oil (Lavender), Glycerin (Vegetable), Parfum, [Benzyl Benzoate, Hexyl Cinnamal, Limonene, Linalool], Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Caprylyl Glycol, Hexylene Glycol, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone.

It's vegan guys!!! Yay i love vegan products...they're usually more saver to our skin :3

The texture of the mask is very watery, kinda rough like a scrub and it also dried very quickly
The smell is very nice,very fresh! It's like  green tea~
See all those holes? Those are my pores... And those black thingies? Don't worry that's not a booger hahahhaah that's the green tea leaves

I leave it for 20minute-ish because i was re-watching How I Met Your Mother in my laptop, they way the mask dried is different from the claymasks that i've tried...this mask feels really tight!

After that i wash my face with warm mater while using the rest of the mask as a scrub...it feels really good i like a rough scrub :3

And ta-dah!!!(don't mind my mismatched eyebrows i had a little accident when trimming them)

Okay so... My face looks a little more brighter, definitely feels n looks cleaner, most of my black heads are gone,my huge pimple popped and feels very bouncy like a baby's skin it's a very good mask...not miraculous but a very good one~ this is my first time using it and who knows if i kept on using it there will be an amazing result? Buuuttt as i still has my dead sea clay mask i'll keep this mask for later use though

Oh and this is me littlerally just woken up a few minutes ago:

Super bad lighting...but i'm impressed though, usually when i woke up my t-zone is always super oily,but this morning when i woke up i feel a lot less oil in my t-zone it's still kinda oily but not too much it feels dewy

Okay i'm so gonna use this again after i finishes my dead sea mask! For now i'll jus focus on 1 mask so my face is not confused hahaha~
